Well I have an PTR-91 that i was hacking up into a precision rifle and I just finished pulling my head out of the toilet. Somehow though that experience an idea popped into my head, I was making a full steel picatinny rail that I was going to tig weld onto the gun. However half way though cutting it on the mill the rail somehow got a bow down the middle and I put it in the scrap bin and walked out trying to keep my anger in check. Now onto my weird idea when I get better I'm making my strengthening rails I am planning on welding on a AK style quick detach side mount. Any objections or recommendations?


p.s. Sorry for the long story.
 
PTR 91 has the barrel spot welded to the receiver HK style. Big waste of time unless you can rebarrel to a better tube.

Ad for the AK style side rail. Go for it. Resale value is an issue though.

Take pictures.
